1) Weeks Pregnant/Size of baby? 13 weeks or the size of a peach! One of my apps says that I am now in my second trimester. However, the majority of them say 14 weeks is the magic number so we'll stick with the majority for now :)
2) Symptoms? As far as sickness/nausea goes, I'm still going strong...no complaints! I did realize that I neglected to mention one of my most prevalent symptoms in my last post and that's my skin! I don't know what this "glow" business is, but I'm pretty sure my face looks like what it did in high school. However!!! My nails are now long and fabulous. If you know me, you know I'm a nail biter and that this is a big deal. This past week I've also found myself getting worn out more easily. Not just in the sense that I'm tired, but if I'm walking around all over the place or bending over and picking stuff up I find myself getting a bit breathless & lightheaded. Nothing major, I just have to get in a few slow, deep breaths in more regularly than normal.
3) Sleep? Sleep has actually been better this week. However, this could probably be attributed to me spending two nights in a Vegas hotel for work that had a great mattress as well as 4 amazing down pillows that I totally cocooned myself with. Heeaaaaveeeeennn.
4) Mood? Richard is currently sleeping so I can't really ask him for the cold, honest truth haha. I've been pretty stressed lately but I'm sure that's just from the school/work/pregnancy combo. Otherwise, I think I'm okay as long as I don't go 4+ hours without food.
5) Fitness? Only went to the gym once last week. Whoops! We did a good amount of walking in Vegas though so hopefully that counts for something. No weight gain yet.
6) Cravings? Still loving meat and carbs. We went over to my in-law's house this past Sunday for dinner and my mother-in-law sent me home with a zip-lock bag of extra dinner rolls. I will not divulge how many were given, but I will say that they only lasted through 1:00pm Monday...
7) Maternity clothes? Not yet. I feel like I'm starting to show a bit as evidenced in my above, spandex-shirt picture, but everything still fits. The only thing I'm thinking about getting is a stretchy black skirt for work. All my pencil skirts still fit fine but I just look kind of chunky in them now, especially if I tuck my shirt in.
8) Movement? Nothing yet!
9) Highlight/lowlight this week? Lowlight for this week is the amount of homework I still have left to do. I am buried. So glad the end is in sight! Going to Las Vegas for a work conference was definitely a highlight though. I work with some really great people that always keep a smile on my face. Here's a few pictures (totally diverting from the baby update but that's okay...)
On Friday we were encouraged by our boss to leave the conference and go play before our flight left. I mean, is this real life? We ventured down to the World of Coca-Cola at the suggestion of miss Taylor and we got to try 16 different Coke products from around the world. Some things tasted great like the Smart Watermelon from China, but some were HORRIBLE (the Beverly from Italy, I'm talking about you!) In fact, it was so disgusting that we asked a fellow customer to pick a number between 1-50 and whoever was furthest away from the number had to down the rest of the Beverly. SO glad it wasn't me. I have a video of Karen doing it, but I will spare her for now. The workers said it's a black licorice flavored tonic water, butttt what it was...was death. Definitely. Oh, and hello giant peanut M&M dispensers... (this was probably only 1/4 of the wall)
Just realized you can see Karen's blonde head in the reflection from the elevator in the picture on the right haha.
Also, let's be real. I was in bed with my book before 10:00pm every night.
Vegas is cool and all, but did I mention the 4 down pillows in my hotel room?!?
10) Looking forward to? Still looking forward to our ultrasound this Thursday! I hope we get to see the little one moving around!
